Burgess Merlot

A full-bodied, rich, complex wine, dubbed the "Cab-Lover's" Merlot. The classic flavors of blueberry and black cherries representative of Merlot is joined by the slightly darker side here with a hint of mint and a superbly balanced acid structure.

This elegant wine is dry, balanced in alcohol and classically proportioned. Full-bodied flavors of blackberries, currants and plums lead to a spicy finish. Rich and complex, it shows heightened structure, courtesy perhaps of its Yountville origin. Drink now–2016. — S.H.
